CEACENT CNOL4PE08 is a chip-equipped OCuLink-to-PCIe 3.0 X8 storage expansion card independently developed by Shenzhen CEACENT Co., Ltd. Its compact OCuLink interface design enables flexible deployment in high-density chassis. When installed in a motherboard's PCIe 3.0 X8 slot, it expands into four SFF-8611
interfaces, which can be connected to U.2 SSD drives via cables.The card's core value lies in delivering cost-effective 4-drive NVMe U.2 expansion, utilizing the PLX8724 chip to bypass motherboard limitations. It demonstrates significant cost-performance advantages in scenarios including edge servers, video workstations, and medium-density storage pools.
Product Features：
1. Broadcom's PEX8724 chip, which has low latency and high throughput characteristics, is critical for the data transfer rate of the card. Especially in servers or workstations where multiple high-speed storage devices need to be processed at the same time, low latency can effectively improve the overall performance.
2. The motherboard BIOS should support UEFI mode, and the operating system should support NVMe mode.
3. This card needs the motherboard BIOS to support X4X4X4X4 split mode to support 4 M.2 NVMe hard disks at the same time. Many server motherboard BIOS produced by Super Micro, Tai An, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and other manufacturers can support PCIe split, please contact the motherboard manufacturer customer service consultation.
4. The radiator is made of T6063 material, so that it remains stable under high load; With excellent corrosion resistance and high toughness, when and where to maintain good performance.
